Life is a journey and at the end of each day, it is good to sit back and reflect on the roads and choices we have made. Some may be lessons whereas some could be just time off taken to smell the roses.

Writer's Strike and it's impact on the faithful audiences :( like MUA!

"Johnny Depp movie hit by writer's strike" read the papers today. I was just having this conversation with JW yesterday regarding the possibility of not getting anymore of some of my favourite shows from DC by December if the strike by the Writers Guild of America is not settled soon. Christmas time will be reruns... what a horrible thought.
